I don't see why we can't have Chocobos AND other things, I mean aside from people wanting to control what others do because it "annoys" them.
These are aggressive beasts, with no established facilities to domesticate them. That alone should be lore enough. It is possible that when the apocalypse happens, we capture some tamed Amalj'aa drakes, and then use them as mounts.

Otherwise, like I said, they aren't domesticated animals. Ever try to ride a feral animal?
